Although these synthesized images appear highly natural, the human visual system is generally insensitive to lighting inconsistencies [1]} and – as with perspective geometry – may not necessarily notice implausible, unnatural, or inconsistent lighting. We provide an initial exploration of the lighting consistency of DALL\(\cdot \) E-2 synthesized images to determine if lighting (modeled using spherical-harmonic based lighting environments [2]}, [3]}) are globally consistent with natural images, and if lighting is locally consistent within a synthesized image.
